Superior Sounds
The KR115M boasts the most realistic stereo-sampled grand piano sounds on the digital-piano market — with “all 88 keys multi-level sampling.” It’s a piano worthy of a master musician, with the ability to deliver the power, stunning clarity, and nuance demanded by a true virtuoso. Moreover, as amazing as these sounds already are, they can be further adjusted to your taste; you can customize them with the friendly-yet-powerful Piano Designer feature.
Superior Keyboard
The KR-115M features Roland’s new Solid Progressive Hammer- Action Keyboard with Escapement — which perfectly matches the feel of an acoustic grand. It provides a heavier touch in the lower range and a lighter touch in the upper registers. In this new version the touch is more delicate than before, and the keys are more solid and balanced for a genuine piano key feel. It also produces less fingernail noise.
Automatic Keyboard Movement
The KR115M comes with an automatic keyboard-movement mechanism that will entertain and impress. Insert any Standard MIDI File (SMF) or other music file, and the keys will start “playing” the music, perfectly reproducing the songs down to the smallest detail. All eyes will be drawn to the magical moving keys. Using the large selection of preset songs or commercially available SMF data, you can create automatic keyboard performances in any genre. You can also record your own performances — not just with the piano tone but with other onboard tones too. And when you play those performances back, watch those keys move just the way you played them!
Handy Remote Control
The KR115M can be operated from a distance by a remote control device, with which you can start/stop the music, change the volume, mute the sound, and control effects and other functions. Also, for the first time, there is an option for remotely accessing and controlling the piano with a PDA or a wireless PC. The Intelligent Grand has now joined the Wireless Age.
Eye-Catching External Display
If you connect your own external monitor or television set to the KR115M, you can view icons and menus from a distance, and display color scores, the lyrics of songs, your own favorite bitmap or JPEG photos, to complete slideshows.
Versatile CD Drive & USB Memory Port
The versatile CD drive built into the KR115M not only plays MIDI music data but also standard audio CDs. Player-piano CDs can give you hours and hours of enjoyment on your Intelligent Grand. And whenever you wish, you can insert an audio CD and listen to your favorite songs. Also, by inserting Roland’s optional USB flash memory device into the USB memory port, you can play SMF data and WAV data.
Record Your Performance
The KR115M comes with a new A/V Sync function that allows you to record and play back your entire performance. You can even add your voice to the piano sound, for example, as well as video images. To save your performance data, simply attach a recorder, and replay your recordings on your KR115M using the automatic keyboard-movement function if you desire. If you want to add video images of your performance, attach a video camera and a DVD recorder. You can make your own music videos!
DigiScore
View scores of preset songs, Standard MIDI files, or songs you record yourself on the onboard recorder. One of the most exciting features of DigiScore is the Touch the Notes feature, which enables you to touch a note on the screen and instantly hear it played on the piano. You can also drag your finger across a series of notes and hear a whole phrase.
Music Assistant
Music Assistant is an intuitive, easy-to-use auto-accompaniment feature. Play simple chords with your left hand, and Music Assistant will automatically follow and “fill in” your performance while you play. Depending on the settings you choose, it can play in a number of different genres, styles, tones, and tempos.
